4 Solar Water Pumping Project-2017 This project is funded by the EU and being implemented by RSS/NERC jointly with Ministry of Environment and Jordan Valley Authority. The Total Budget is around 7,000,0000 Euros. The Project aims at replacing 200 old pumping stations (using grid electricity or Diesel) by new solar pumping station in the Jordan Valley and another 100 pumping stations in the High Lands in Jordan. The project has been started with a detailed assessment of the existing pumping stations (age of the pump, efficiency, annual consumption, available area for solar panels, cost sharing by the owners ) The estimated saving in electricity is more than 5 GWh/year.

5 The MENA Region Initiative as a Model of the NEXUS Approach to Renewable Energy Technologies

6 Project s Main Objective The overall goal of the proposed project is to Strengthen regional cooperation within the MENA region through implementing the NEXUS approach (energy/water/food) integrated with renewable energy technologies at the municipality level, to mitigate climate change impacts and combat poverty.

7 Project Structure and Methodology

8 As-Samra wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) It is the largest wastewater treatment facility in Jordan. Construction of the As-Samra WWTP was undertaken between 2003 and August 2008, at a cost of $169m. The facility treats an average flow of 267,000m³ of wastewater on a daily basis, serving a population of 2.2 million living in the Greater Amman and Zarqa areas. The WWTP receives 80% of its electricity needs through the combination of hydraulic turbines and gas turbines powered by digestion biogas (Total Installed Electrical Power 14 MW). Inlet Pelton turbines / 1.7 MW Outlet Francis turbines / 2.5 MW Biogas power generator / 9.5 MW The remaining 20% comes from the national grid. As-Samra WWTP consists of: a primary settling tank eight aeration tanks and eight secondary settling tanks four anaerobic sludge digesters Biogas and hydro-powered generators, and Odor control system. The digested Sludge flows to the digested sludge storage tank where it is pumped to 25 solar evaporation basins where it is dried to about 30% dry solids. Sources: SUEZ's degremont water handbook

9 Conventional RO- diesel generator experimental plant was erected in Qatar Village to study the technical characteristics of the RO systems The Aqaba project: 16kWp, 140 modules, Kyocera. Performance Specifications : Feed Water TDS (mg/l): 4000 Feed Water Temperature( C) :25 Production (GPM): 15 Permeate TDS(mg/L): 100 Recovery(%):60 Feed Water Max. Silt Density: 5.0 Feed Water Max. Turbidity (NTU): 1.0 Feed Water chlorine Tolerance(mg/l): 0.1 Concentrate LSI: 1.5 Min. LinePressure Required: 20 3 rd Year R.O. Feed Pressure (psi): rd year concentrate pressure( psi): 185 Solar Desalination in Jordan Qatar Village & Aqaba solar powered Desalination system using RO Technology

10 The first largest Water Desalination plant in Jordan Opened in March 2017 The desalination project was implemented by KEMAPCO. on the principle of buildoperate-transfer (BOT). Plant capacity is 500 m3/hour Payback is around 7 years. The plant will provide the same amount of water as the Disi project. The project, which would meet Aqaba s water needs until the year 2035, is to be fully supplied with renewable energy sources, with the methane gas emitted by the plant and solar energy to generate electricity for the entire project.

11 Solar Desalination in Jordan Solar desalination of Sea water using heat pipe principle ( ) Distilled quantities achieved during summer were 5 liters/m2 /day and 2.5 to 3.0 liters/m2 /day in winter. The seawater salinity is ppm where the product water has a quality of 35ppm Parabolic trough desalination plant in Aqaba 24 m long parabolic trough with a sun tracking system. Multistage evaporator 6 effects This unit was producing 1m 3 /day at solar radiation of 5.6 kwhr/m 2 /day.

12 Geothermal Energy Applications Many of the geothermal sources are currently being used on a small scale either for recreation, heating greenhouses or on several fish- breeding farms run by the Arab Fish Company.

14 Solar Pumping PV Water Pump at Tafila This project aims to replace the diesel generator with Photovoltaic system to power water pumps in remote areas. The size of the pump is 23 kw and the PV System size is 30 kwp. The energy production is 150 kwh/day, the water yield is 70m³/Day and the annual CO2 emissions reduction is 30,000 kg.

15 Al- Hazeem PVP-system Solar Pumping Umari PVP system Location: 150 km east of Amman. Installed in m3/day System1: peak power of kw System 2: peak power of kw Two water storage tanks each 55 m 3 capacity. This photovoltaic pumping system was installed in June m 3 / day of water Consists of an array of 42 polycrystalline PV modules. Total peak power of KW, with DC/AC inverter 55 m3 water storage tank.

16 Bio-Gas System/Dair yousef farm Digester size about 16 m 3 included the dome. Operation of electrical mixer using the photovoltaic panels. Utilization of solar water heaters to produce hot water to be used for domestic requirements and in the Digester The farm is used to grow cows for milk production (around 12 cows) in the northern part of Jordan. The monthly gas production is around 5 m3 /day equals to 150 m3/month. System Cost: JD 4000 Payback: 4 Years
